Investment Analysis

Completed sales evidence on Valley Road ranges from £118,000 to £141,500. The strongest evidence is 41 Valley Road, a semi-detached freehold, which sold for £118,000, £120,000 and £122,500 most recently. A base GDV of £120,000 is used, but the subject’s internal condition is unknown and the property has not been inspected internally, so this is an estimate rather than a formal valuation.

Investment Snapshot

Guide Price	£80,000 (plus fees)
HB Estimated GDV	£120,000
Estimated Monthly Rent	£995 pcm
Estimated Annual Rent	£11,940 pa

Strategy Recommendation

Do not bid on the current evidence alone. Obtain legal-pack details and a professional internal inspection or contractor assessment; proceed only if the unknown works and total costs support a sufficient margin.

Works Required

The property is described as needing improvement, but no internal inspection or viewing has taken place. Works cannot be specified or costed reliably. A full internal inspection, legal-pack review and contractor assessment are required before bidding.

Potential BRRR Position

Base GDV	£120,000
75% Refinance	£90,000

At the £80,000 guide, the known buyer premium and admin charge add £3,540 before any disbursements or refurbishment. A 75% refinance of the £120,000 base GDV would be £90,000, but total project cost and cash left in cannot be calculated because the internal condition and refurbishment requirement are unknown.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The advertised rental evidence is £995 pcm, equivalent to £11,940 annually. Against the £80,000 guide, this indicates a gross yield of approximately 14.93%, before refurbishment, finance, voids, management, maintenance, tax and auction costs. The rent is an asking rent rather than achieved rent, and the unknown condition prevents a reliable all-in BTL assessment.

Flip Analysis

The base GDV estimate is £120,000, supported principally by recent sales of 41 Valley Road between £118,000 and £122,500. A flip surplus cannot be calculated because refurbishment costs, finance costs, selling costs and the property’s internal condition are unsupported.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The auctioneers have not inspected internally and viewings are unavailable on health and safety grounds.

• The property is described as needing improvement, but the extent and cost of works are unknown.

• Buyer premium and admin charge total £3,540, with possible additional legal-pack disbursements and other special-condition costs.

• The £995 pcm figure is an advertised asking rent, not an achieved or passing rent.

• The subject condition may not support the assumed GDV range, which is based on nearby completed sales.

Recommendation

Do not bid on the current evidence alone. Obtain legal-pack details and a professional internal inspection or contractor assessment; proceed only if the unknown works and total costs support a sufficient margin.
